I struggling to identify the colours of the pieces in the pictures.

I have been up and down the known colours and cannot match them. Am I looking
at purple, deep purple, sand red - I just don't know. I have nothing else
to compare them to.

Any help greatly appreciated.
Thank you
Linda

I think it's dark purple, maybe slighty discolored.

They look like a purple and a dark purple to me, but it is really hard to do
this. Your camera and my monitor are both variables.

I agree. Looks like purple on the left and dark purple on the right.

It's hard to tell from the photos, but my guess is that they're both
Purple. TLC used to have a recognized problem with getting purple right, as
far as color consistency. It could be that both grills are meant to be purple,
but the coloring process was imperfect, and they ended up not being exactly the
same.

Hi

Colors are very hard to tell on their own. The colors looks different in your
two photos due to different lighting. One shot shows two different purple and
in the other shot it could be dark red and purple. Very hard to tell.

A tip is to take the photo together with parts in well known colors. For purple
it would be good to have a blue and a red piece in the same photo. Then it will
be easier to tell the difference.
